Imagine for one moment, it was all genuine. The words, the smiles, the look, the touch, it all meant something. And when he swept you away it was intentional, with aim. You were sought after, you were looked after. It all meant something.
Just imagine for one moment, it was all real. And you weren't crazy. And it mattered.
Because whether you've lost something that was real, or holding onto something that wasn't, it was a flame that's now lost to the dark – but it's as present as the stars in the sky, the one you always find yourself looking up for. Has the darkness consumed it or does it light up the night? Will your star be a dead fire from the past or a flickering light in the distance? Will you resent its absence or appreciate its existence?
Whichever way you choose to see it, just choose to see it… for if anything, he illuminated your path if for a moment of time. To deny it in any which way – for better or worse – that's the real loss. You traded in your time for a memory, it's your duty to make it a good one. Because nothing changes the past other than your perception of it.
So in the end my dear, choose to see the good… choose to see the star.

Tesla Roadster Review
Lorenzo Lucia
Early next year, Tesla is set to release a new car, the Tesla Roadster, which has been a very anticipated car.
Tesla is a relatively new car company and has gotten people's attention. This year is no different especially because of the new Roadster that is set to come out in spring 2018.
Some special features are that it is an electric car, has 4-wheel drive and accelerates from 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. This is especially quick for an electric car; in fact, it is faster than any other production car ever.
Another impressive spec is the car's estimated top speed is 250 mph. Tesla does not even know how fast the car can go. A lot of people think that the true top speed is much higher than that. Only when these cars get released to the public will we know for sure.
This can be compared to the 2018 Dodge Demon which is an All American V8 with 840 horsepower. Even though this is not an electric car, it is the only other new car that has insane performance results.
If you compare the car's quarter mile times, the Demon has a time of 9.6 seconds which is really quick for a production car, but the Tesla Roadster has a time of 8.8 seconds which is bounds faster than the Demon.

Is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion.
Scientists use SI units to describe the distance an object moves.
A meter is a little longer than a yard. The SI unit of length is the meter.
To calculate average speed, divide the total distance traveled by the total time.
Instantaneous speed is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant in time.
The steepness of a line on a graph is called a slope. The slope tells you how fast one variable changes in relation to the other variable in the graph.
The speed of an object is the distance the object travels per unit.

United States: SEC Responds To Wyoming's Opinion On Custody Of Digital Assets And Qualified Custodian Status
by Jordan M. Horowitz
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued a statement in response to the Wyoming Division of Banking's No-Action Letter on Custody of Digital Assets and Qualified Custodian Status.
in October, the Wyoming Division of Banking granted Two Ocean Trust, a Wyoming-chartered public trust company, "no action" relief setting forth the first opinion by a state or federal banking regulator to permit a financial institution to act as a "qualified custodian" under the Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act") for digital assets. The no-action letter is Wyoming's latest move to further establish the state's position as the digital asset epicenter of the U.S.
The SEC "Custody Rule" (Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act) requires that registered "advisers that have custody of client funds or securities [maintain] those assets with broker-dealers, banks, or other qualified custodians." In turn, only financial institutions that are deemed "qualified custodians" under federal law may provide custodial services to the public.
The Wyoming Division of Banking determined that Two Ocean Trust meets the definition of "bank" under the Advisers Act and may serve as a "qualified custodian" for both digital and traditional assets. The Wyoming Division of Banking also stated that it "will not recommend an investigation or enforcement action to the SEC on these issues." Following the no-action letter, Two Ocean Trust announced its offering of the "first comprehensive digital asset wealth management platform".
In response to the Wyoming Division of Banking's opinion, the SEC's Staff of the Division of Investment Management (the "Staff"), along with the SEC's Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology (FinHub), issued a statement to reinforce, as stated by the Wyoming Division of Banking, that the no-action letter "should not be construed to represent the views of the SEC or any other regulatory agency."
The Staff noted that "[d]etermining who qualifies as a qualified custodian is a complicated, and facts and circumstances based, analysis" and that the SEC "has limited the types of financial institutions that may act as qualified custodians to those institutions that possess key characteristics, including being subject to extensive regulation and oversight, that help to ensure that client assets are adequately safeguarded."
The Staff solicited comments to inform and support "staff recommendations to amend the Custody Rule"-an opportunity that will play a critical role in the development of the cryptocurrency industry and how it will operate under state and federal law.

Maldives says intl airport development priority project for 2020
m@ldives	175 views November 11, 2019
Development of Velana International Airport is one of the key priority projects to be undertaken by the government next year, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih announced Sunday.
In his address at the official function held to mark the Republic Day, President Solih said the project to develop the Maldives' main international airport had resumed. It had been continuing at a fast pace, he added.
Designing and construction of the new passenger terminal, which is expected to cater to at least seven million passengers per annum, was contracted to the Saudi Binladin Group in 2016, with the completion date set for late 2019.
However, the project came to a halt last year after the Saudi Fund for Development, which contributes majority of the funding for the terminal project, withheld funds amidst political turmoil and presidential elections.
The new government had negotiated with the aid agency to restart the project. A revised agreement was signed with Saudi Binladin Group in June.
Under the revised contract, the terminal and associated facilities are to be built in a 78,000sqm area.
The project, which is now set to complete in May 2022, includes building six contact stands and four remote stands at the new international terminal Building, land side roads and landscaping works, seaplane area with tourist lounges, fine dining, retail and lounges, MEP works including inline BHS, and vertical and horizontal assisted transportation which is compliant with EU and local security regulations. Demolition of existing pier building and related works is also included in the scope of work under the revised contract.
The new international terminal is part of a USD 800 million mega project to expand and upgrade the main Velana International Airport. The project also involves building a brand new runway and a seaplane terminal as well as other support facilities, including a fuel farm that can store 45 million litres and a 120,000 tonne cargo facility.
USD 570 million of the USD 800 million needed for the project have been raised from international financiers, especially Arab funding agencies. It includes a USD 100 million loan from Saudi Fund for Development, a USD 50 million loan from Kuwait Fund, a USD 50 million loan from OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID) and a USD 50 million loan from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.
China EXIM Bank also granted a loan of USD 400 million for the new runway, which was contracted to Beijing Urban Construction Group (BUCG) of China. The new runway is set to come into operation later this year.
MACL had also invested USD 50 million from its own funds.
The airport is a key infrastructure that supports the Maldives multi-billion dollar tourism industry. Expansion of the airport is expected to boost tourist arrivals to the island nation as it aims to attract at least two million tourists by 2020.

Will Smith, former Saints player, shot dead at scene of crash
Posted 6:39 am, April 11, 2016, by CNN Wire
(CNN) — Will Smith and his wife, Racquel, were "having a blast" at a city festival mere hours before they were both shot, leaving the former New Orleans Saints defensive end dead and his wife hospitalized.
Will Smith and his wife, Racquel, were "having a blast" at a city festival mere hours before they were both shot, leaving the former New Orleans Saints defensive end dead and his wife hospitalized.
New Orleans Police Department spokesman Tyler Gamble was reluctant to use the term "road rage," but a police statement says Smith and the driver of a Hummer SUV "exchanged words" before the Hummer's driver shot Smith multiple times and shot Smith's wife in the right leg.
Former New Orleans police officer Billy Ceravolo, who was at dinner with Will and Racquel Smith before the shooting, told CNN over the phone that Racquel Smith was on the mend, but he declined to answer further questions.
"She is out of surgery and doing well, and that's the highlight of today," he said.
The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office booked Cardell Hayes, 30, on second-degree murder charges early Sunday, Gamble said. Bond was set at $1 million, according to jail records.
"I don't have any information indicating they knew each other at this time," Gamble told CNN in an email, noting that the investigation was ongoing. New Orleans Police Superintendent Michael Harrison said during a Sunday afternoon news conference that police are still investigating whether Hayes and Smith knew each other.
One matter that has become part of the probe, Harrison said, is whether a decade-old lawsuit that Hayes filed against the city after police fatally shot his father has anything to do with Saturday's shooting. Ceravolo is named in the lawsuit.
A dinner, then a deadly shooting
Details are still emerging about the moments leading up to the deadly shooting.
Earlier Saturday, Smith posted a selfie of him and his wife. The caption said the pair were having fun Saturday night at the French Quarter Fest, an annual event in the famed New Orleans district.
Shortly after the Instagram post, the couple had dinner at Sake Café. Ceravolo, former Saints teammate Pierre Thomas and a sports agent joined them, restaurant General Manager Dave Matherne said.
"You could hear them laughing at the table," Matherne said. "It seemed they were having a really good time."
Just before the restaurant closed, around 11:15 p.m., the Smiths left in a Mercedes G63 SUV.
They were following two acquaintances in a gray Chevrolet Impala, police said in a statement.
It took only 10 blocks for the situation to turn dramatically.
As the vehicles approached a five-point intersection in the city's Lower Garden District neighborhood, Hayes was driving behind them in an orange Hummer H2, police said.
Hayes rear-ended the Mercedes, causing Smith's SUV to hit the Impala, according to police.
"At some point, the … driver of the Hummer and Smith exchanged words," the police statement said. "The … male driver produced a handgun and shot Smith multiple times, the female victim was also shot to the leg."
Wounded wife's cry: 'Where's my husband?'
Janis Baehr says she was inside a nearby bed-and-breakfast when she heard the vehicle crash, a heated dispute and at least five shots fired.
The Florida resident, who was in town to celebrate a friend's birthday at the festival, told CNN she went outside after she heard a woman shout, "Please, God, somebody, please help me!"
"(Racquel Smith) was screaming, lying there on the sidewalk," Baehr said. "I got there on the ground with her."
They prayed together, she said, before paramedics rushed Racquel Smith to the hospital with gunshot wounds in her leg. According to Baehr, Racquel Smith cried out, "Where's my husband? Where's my husband?"
When police reached the scene at about 11:29 p.m., Will Smith was "in the middle of the street partially inside of his vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the body. He died at the scene," police said.
And Hayes was still there.
Investigators recovered the weapon they believe he used, and it had no record, Harrison said. Hayes also had a male passenger in the car with him. He was not identified, and Harrison said he had no information suggesting the passenger was involved in the shooting.
Detectives transported Hayes to the homicide office for questioning before taking him to Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office Central Lockup and booking him on a murder charge, police said.
A photographer for the The Times-Picayune in New Orleans posted a picture of Thomas, Smith's former teammate who dined with him Saturday night, standing at the scene of the shooting and looking distraught.
Abutting the Mississippi River, the Lower Garden District neighborhood is known for its historic homes, some of which date back to the early 19th century. Lee Circle, a popular gathering spot during the city's Mardi Gras celebration, sits on the neighborhood's edge.
It's a relatively low-crime area, especially when compared with Central City to its west and the Central Business District and French Quarter to its north. Of more than 500 crimes reported in New Orleans in the last week, only a handful occurred in the Lower Garden District, most of them thefts, though there was an assault reported Friday, according to the city's crime map.
'A force on the field'
Smith was a 34-year-old father of three who had reached the pinnacles of success at football's college and pro levels. Born in Queens and reared in Utica, New York, Smith attended Ohio State University, where he won a national championship in 2002.
The 18th pick in the 2004 NFL draft, he went on to play his entire career, 10 seasons, with the Saints. He was part of the 2010 squad that beat the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.
He suffered a knee injury during the 2013 preseason, and the Saints released him in 2014. New England signed him, but he never took the field for the Patriots, who released him later that year.
The Saints released a statement calling the 2006 Pro Bowler "a force on the football field, a team and locker room leader both on and off it as a defensive team captain." He ranks fourth among the Saints' all-time sack leaders and is considered one of the franchise's great defensive players.
Smith played 139 games for the Saints, starting in 120, and racked up 618 tackles, 67.5 sacks, 19 forced fumbles and seven recovered fumbles.
"We are devastated and saddened by Will's tragic and preventable death due to a senseless act that will leave a lasting scar on our community forever. Will was more than an exceptional football player he was a father, a husband, a son, a brother and teammate to so many and an inspiration to countless more," Saints owners Tom Benson and his wife, Gayle, said in a statement.
Players and coaches from throughout Smith's career took to social media to express their condolences.
The Saints statement notes that Smith and his wife were generous with their time and quick to participate in various initiatives.
Smith's foundation, Where There's A Will, There's A Way, mentors and provides support for at-risk children in Louisiana and upstate New York. He sat on the advisory board of The Artists and Athletes Alliance, too.
He also played a big role in Kingsley House, as well as Bridge House and Grace House, and according to the Saints, he had been hosting an annual Smith Family Christmas event for Kingsley House families since 2012. The event, which was often held at the Saints practice facility, included a holiday meal, Christmas gifts from Santa Claus and a tour of the facility.
The Smiths hosted a celebrity waiter event for Bridge House and Grace House, which teach people who have become dependent on drugs or alcohol how to live sober and productively, the team said. Smith persuaded his teammates to serve as waiters for the event, even after he retired from football.
In addition, Smith sponsored a Utica event called "Evening With All-Stars," which honors the region's high school football stars.
His last public Facebook post shows him at the United Nations on Wednesday, the same day the world body observed the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
He wrote on his personal website that he wanted to be an FBI agent following his football career.
A life not without controversy
Despite the raft of accolades on and off the field, Smith did have blemishes on both his personal and professional record.
In 2011, the NFL announced it was suspending Smith for two games without pay for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. One of four players to test positive for the banned diuretic, StarCaps, in 2008, Smith was also fined an additional two game checks, according to the league.
The following year, he was suspended for four games after he and three other Saints were implicated in the franchise's "bountygate" scandal. The suspension was later lifted. According to the NFL's allegations, the Saints paid bonuses for targeting and injuring opposing teams' players between 2009 and 2011.
Off the field, Smith was arrested in 2010 and charged with public intoxication and domestic abuse battery after he allegedly dragged his wife by her hair outside a Lafayette, Louisiana, nightclub, according to The Times-Picayune. He and his wife both said it was a misunderstanding, the newspaper reported, and the charges were dropped after he completed community service and counseling requirements.
Will and Racquel Smith were married in 2008, the same year Smith reportedly signed a $70 million contract extension with the Saints. Their three children are William, Lisa Mya and Wynter Chase.
The Kansas City Chiefs expressed their condolences online.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the friends and family of Will Smith and the entire @Saints organization.

Sanders Calls Michigan Voter Disenfranchisement an "Outrage"
Ralph Lopez
Ralph Lopez majored in Economics and Political Science at Yale University. He has been published in the Boston Globe and the Baltimore Sun.
Hundreds of students and residents wait in line to register and to vote outside of Ann Arbor City Hall Tuesday afternoon.
In a virtual replay of the Democratic presidential primary in 2016, Bernie Sanders fumed at long voter lines in his key constituencies, even causing voters to drop out, as an "outrage." But as in 2016, the campaign has declined to take legal action to at least in part remedy the lost rights.
The Hill reported that Sanders said in a statement:
"At a time when Democrats correctly attack Republicans for voter suppression, it is disappointing to see people standing in long lines for hours today waiting to vote in Michigan and around the country. People should not have to miss a day of work to exercise their right to vote. This is an outrage,"
The Hill reported that Sanders was facing a "must-win contest" in Michigan.
The Detroit Free Press reported:
"There was a long line to register to vote at the East Lansing City Clerk's Office at about 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The line snaked all through the building and it was almost entirely students from MSU who said they were waiting to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont."
People with disabilities were another group of voters whom the Free Press reported waiting in long lines or unable vote in what they considered to be a reasonable period of time.
In Arizona in 2016, Sanders called up to seven-hour lines in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, one-half of the state's population, a "disgrace."
In California and Texas on the March 3rd Super Tuesday, long lines forced some to abandon the attempt due to work, school, or family responsibilities, and others to not even attempt to vote. (See: "Super Tuesday Biden Victories Questioned by Election Watchers")
On March 6, 2020, USA Today reported:
"In Houston, voters who got in line at Texas Southern University, a historically black institution in a neighborhood of color, before the 7 p.m. deadline had to wait for hours to vote — many of them well past midnight, which means they were voting a day late. Some news accounts described the wait as nearly a full work shift."
Nevertheless, Sanders has sworn to strongly support, and campaign for, whoever is the nominee for president.
The New York Times has openly raised the possibility that the problems were specifically aimed at suppressing the Sanders vote, its Editorial Board writing in "Why Did It Take so Long to Vote in Texas and California?":
"On a day when most voting went smoothly, the two largest states in the Super Tuesday elections, California and Texas, struggled with hours-long lines in some major cities and complaints from some voting-rights groups that officials were seeking to reduce turnout for political reasons."
Newsweek reported on the day after Super Tuesday:
"Hours-long voting lines in parts of Texas led to significant frustration on Super Tuesday, with some suggesting that "voter suppression" was at play, particularly as the problems seemed to affect minority and student communities."
Court-ordered remedies to excessive lines could include additional voting days in precincts declared to have offered substandard service.
Last week in an interview in Amy Goodman's Democracy Now, "Long Lines, Closed Polling Stations Hurt Black, Latinx & Student Voters in TX, CA," election expert Ari Berman observed:
"...in places like Dallas and Houston and San Antonio, that's where you saw disproportionate lines. They were not the same lines in wealthy white neighborhoods that there were in black and Latino and neighborhoods where a lot of young people voted."
In other election news relating to Texas, WFAA ABC News 8 reports that Dallas County has reported 44 thumb drives representing 10% of the county's votes were discovered uncounted. Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are the cities which were considered Sander's strongest regions, along with El Paso.
And in California, as of latest reports, millions of "provisional" ballots remain to be counted, leaving the delegate count undecided, although the media continues to amplify the narrative that Biden is already all but the winner of the Democratic nomination.
Thus far the Sanders campaign could not be reached for comment. Sanders' campaign manager is Faiz Shakir @fshakir.

Alexander Wong – Architect & Interior Designer
April 2, 2017 By Michaela Bolzan
Imagine being the Number One person in the world, for something? Typically, you first think of a sports person; the fastest runner, or swimmer, in the world. Well, how about the Number One interior designer in the world; now that's someone I want to meet!A post-graduate from Princeton University, Alexander Wong is the brains behind his award-winning, avant-garde firm, Alexander Wong Architects. Since 2001, the company has evolved into a multi-disciplinary powerhouse, creating fresh, cutting edge designs, for architecture and interiors. I met Alexander at his offices in downtown Central, in Hong Kong, and instantly connected with his charismatic and dynamic personality. With the chances of me being Number One at anything, basically a zilch, I was keen to know what it feels like to be the Best Interior Designer in the world for 2016/2017.
Alexander: It's out of this world, because I really didn't expect it. We received the award at the Savoy Hotel in London, of all places, and we were the last to be announced. It was humbling, but at the same time reassuring, that what we are doing is innovative and speaks to the almost one hundred judges on the panel. It was an amazing experience!
The project for which Alexander won this award for is called Carmen Futura, the futuristic cinema complex located at the Langham Place Mall in Mongkok, described as the busiest district in the world by the Guinness World Records.
Alexander: Mongkok is an area filled with legends of the Hong Kong film industry, and particularly the films of directors Johnnie To and Wong Kar Wai, who I know, as a friend. So we thought, why not tell the world about Hong Kong's New Wave Cinema, through the design of this complex. The films of Wong Kar Wai are also filled with desire and lust; very complex emotions; so we created this cinema, based on passion and mind control!
At this point of our meeting Alexander's assistant, Rock, starts projecting onto large screens around the room, images of Carmen Futura. Instantly, I feel transported into the latest, high-tech, space-age film.
Carmen Futura – Gravity restrooms
Alexander: We also wanted to add a sci-fi element to the design to bring it into the 21st century. The Gravity restrooms, (he says, pointing the the screen) was inspired by the film Gravity and we wanted to create this "anti-gravity" feeling. The starkness of the black and white tiles are softened by the curved designs of the hand basins and street lamps. In fact it was this design, that is so outrageous, that when we presented it to the client they said: "Ok, you're hired"!
The amazing Cinema City Langham Place is also Hong Kong's first 4DX theatre, where films can be viewed with "environmental effects" such as seat motion, scents, wind and rain. It becomes obvious, looking at the photos of Alexander's work, that this is some of the most daring, out-there, designs I've ever seen. I am fascinated to understand more about his creative process.
Alexander: Any design process is a journey; it's childlike, but it can also be profound. You start off with nothing; you can't have any preconceived notions. And then the location; the combination of team members; the client; the clientele; the era; the spatial dynamics; all this informs you as to how you go about creating something.
Carmen Futura – Cloud Atlas Tunnel
Alexander: This what we call the Cloud Atlas Tunnel which leads into the actual cinemas, and it's all about hypnosis. If you type in (to a search engine), "hypnosis", it's all about mind-control. So the swirl on the ceiling, like a lollypop, and the numbers on the walls of the corridor (3,2,1), which is what they say to wake you from a hypnotised state. I believe that going to see a film is like being under hypnosis, for a couple of hours, you are transported into another realm.
Upon hearing Alexander talk about this, it's as if I too have just woken from a dream – suddenly it all starts to make sense. Through his designs, Alexander is further influencing the experiences we have when we go to the cinema, a nightclub, or the rest room, like a concoctor of magic! As I exit the office building into the bright lights and loud noises of the street scape, I have to blink my eyes a couple of times.

Posted July 7, 2011 by Phil Johnson.
Travel can be a reminder of the aspirant genius of humans all over the world. Wherever people can be found, the drive to surpass and to exceed can also be found, which might be why there are so many impressive monuments all over the place.
For every Eiffel Tower, Petra or Machu Picchu, though, there are also the eternal legacies to misguided ambition. For every glorious success, humanity has at least one epic failure. They just don't get as much guidebook attention or tourist traffic.
In 2009 the tallest structure ever built, the Burj Khalifa, was officially opened. At 828 metres high, the tower is more than 100 metres taller than its nearest competition, which leaves you wondering just what is the point of the last 100 metres of Burj. A lot of borrowed money, wasted energy, and exploited labour could have been saved if the Burj builders hadn't been quite so intent on tempting fate. By the time the tower opened the global recession had already hit; apparently a good part of the structure is still empty and waiting for someone to give a damn.
Cruising through downtown Detroit is an eerie experience. Traffic lights hang dead from their wires, boarded-up houses brood among vacant lots, barbed wire garlands surround industrial ruins. It's kind of like an apocalypse film, except even the zombies have given up and quit town. There are of course still people living in Detroit, but the city's population is about half what it was when the American auto industry was booming and Detroit offered many thousands of people a new vision of the American Dream.
The city is slowly overturning decades of decline, but large parts of the city still stand in creepy testament to the near-sighted auto barons who couldn't see the writing on the wall, and so squandered the virtual monopoly Detroit once held over the global automotive industry.
Today Detroit is still home to some of the most grandiose ruins in the world, testaments to the 'bigger is better' mentality that drove the car companies for so long. Detroit's Michigan Central Station, for instance, is an 18-storey shell full of rubble and graffiti by a slippery character known as Catfish.
The Sphinx is a mystery that has taunted visitors for hundred (and probably thousands) of years. We can have no beef with whoever built such an enduring icon. The more recent wise-asses who decided to immortalise themselves by defaming such a monument are a different story. Whether it was a wave of idol-smashing fanaticism or Napoleon's cannons that broke the Sphinx's nose, the missing proboscis is an eternal mark of the philistinism that usually comes with conquest.
Travelling through Egypt Paul Theroux remarked that "the defacings are as fascinating as the finished sculptures, giving the figures the eeriness and mystery of a mutilated corpse at a crime scene". Fascinating yes, but that doesn't mean we need to see any more pointless destruction. The quote may also shed light on the mysterious Paul Woz Ere and Take Theroux Less Travelled graffiti that turned up on the Sphinx a few years ago.

Q: Remove spaces between two characters with Regex I am looking for removing space between two characters at any part of the sentence. For instance, the following phrases:
R Z EXCAVATING AND LOGGING
EXCAVATING R Z AND LOGGING

should become
RZ EXCAVATING AND LOGGING
EXCAVATING RZ AND LOGGING

I have tried the following regex ([A-Z](.*?)[A-Z]), but I have not been able to get rid of the space between the two characters.
Any idea?

A: You may use
text = re.sub(r'\b([A-Z])\s+(?=[A-Z]\b)', r'\1', text)

See the regex demo
Details

*

*\b - word boundary

*([A-Z]) - Capturing group 1: an uppercase letter

*\s+ - 1+ whitespaces...

*(?=[A-Z]\b) - immediately followed with an uppercase letter not followed with a word char (letter, digit, _).

A Self-Published Book By Mackenzie Lueck's Alleged Murderer Is No Longer Available On Amazon
A self-published book written by the Utah man suspected of killing and burning the body of 23-year-old Mackenzie Lueck, is no longer available on Amazon.
Ayoola Ajayi, 31, was arrested at his Salt Lake City home on Friday, nearly two weeks after the University of Utah student went missing. Charred remains of her belongings and flesh that matched her DNA profile were found in the ashes of a burn site in his backyard, Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown said.
Ajayi, who is believed to be the last person to communicate with Lueck before her death, has been charged with aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping, and obstruction of justice.
It is unclear exactly why the book is no longer available. Some people speculated it was pulled by Amazon, including a local reporter who tweeted that he bought the book last week. Amazon did not immediately return BuzzFeed News' request for comment.
Less than a year before the alleged murder, Ajayi self-published a book called Forge Identity.
At least two characters die by being burned alive, according to a plot description for the book found on Goodreads.
"Ezekiel was almost 15 when he witnessed a gruesome murder. An angry mob burned his neighbor alive in the street and the man died at his feet," the description reads.
"Sadly, it was not the last time he witnessed such horror," it continues. "With his well respected father as guide and mentor, Ezekiel saw this death, then a death much closer to home when a loved one was killed in the same brutal, terrifying way 50 feet from him, and he could do nothing to stop it."
The book is no longer available on Amazon, but is still listed on Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon.
People are now flooding the book's Goodreads page with reviews calling for it to be pulled.
"The author's a freaking murderer, so it's a no from me," one Goodreads user wrote.
"Goodreads needs to pull this. Amazon already did," another wrote.
A spokesperson for Goodreads did not immediately return a request for comment from BuzzFeed News.
Lueck was last seen on June 17 after traveling from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. After her flight landed around 2 a.m., she took a Lyft to North Salt Lake City, where she was dropped off at a park.
Brown said she met with someone at 3 a.m., and her cellphone stopped transmitting a signal and location around then. Ajayi was the last person she communicated with.
Ajayi denied knowing what Lueck looked like, but photos of her were found in his phone.
"He admitted to having text conversations with Mackenzie on June 16 at approximate 6 p.m., but nothing after that time," Brown said, despite cellphone data obtained by detectives that showed otherwise. "[He] denied any personal contact with Mackenzie or meeting her at any time."

Relation des choses du Yucatán () est un ouvrage écrit en 1566 par le moine franciscain Diego de Landa, et publié pour la première fois à Paris en 1864 par l'archéologue français Brasseur de Bourbourg.

L'ouvrage traite des divers aspects de la province du Yucatán (Mexique) et plus spécialement de la culture, des croyances et de la  religion des autochtones, les Mayas yucatèques.

Contexte
Le Yucatán fut conquis par Francisco de Montejo et son fils (qui portait les mêmes nom et prénom) postérieurement à la conquête du Mexique (siège et chute de Mexico en 1521) après une longue et difficile campagne (1527 - 1545) au cours de laquelle les Espagnols éprouvèrent de cuisants revers et durent même évacuer totalement ce pays avant de parvenir à le dominer (fondation de Merida  en 1542 et de Valladolid en 1543), ce qu'ils parvinrent à réaliser en instaurant un régime de terreur contre les indigènes asservis par le régime de l'encomienda et christianisés sous la contrainte. Pour ce faire, Francisco de Montejo, dès la conquête assurée, fit venir des missionnaires, d'abord du Guatemala, conquis en 1527, puis d'Espagne.

C'est ainsi que Diego de Landa arriva au Yucatán en 1549 avec cinq autres frères pour assurer l'évangélisation des Indiens. Il était né en 1524 à Cifuentes, près de Guadalajara, en Castille, et avait été ordonné prêtre en 1541 dans l'ordre des franciscains. Nommé à Izamal, les indigènes semblèrent accepter de bon gré la religion catholique, mais leurs croyances ancestrales étaient si fortement enracinées que certains, baptisés, continuèrent secrètement d'adorer leurs idoles et de pratiquer leurs anciens rites. Landa, informé, procéda à une inquisition dans la province de Maní où les relapses furent soumis à la question pour obtenir des aveux puis punis par le fouet ou le port du  au cours d'un autodafé (12 juillet 1562) mené avec le concours des autorités espagnoles. Pendant cet autodafé furent détruits tous les livres des Mayas (les Codex) que Landa avait pu faire rassembler (au nombre de 27),  idoles et d'autres choses encore.

Cette même année 1562 un autre franciscain, Francisco Toral, fut nommé évêque du Yucatán. Il venait de Mexico où il avait passé vingt ans. Protecteur de Bernardino de Sahagún, c'était un homme éclairé intéressé par les cultures indigènes ; aussi, dès son arrivée au Yucatán, révolté par les méthodes inquisitoriales de Landa, il le désavoua, annula toutes les dispositions que celui-ci avait prises à l'encontre des Indiens et l'envoya à Mexico (1563), où il fut décidé de le faire partir en Espagne pour y être jugé par le Conseil Royal des Indes. Diego de Landa arriva en Castille en 1564 où une commission ecclésiastique spécialement constituée pour le juger mit plusieurs années à statuer avant de l'absoudre (1569). C'est pendant cette période, vers 1566, que Landa écrivit sa . L'évêque Toral étant mort en 1571, Landa fut nommé évêque du Yucatán (1572). Il s'embarqua pour son diocèse en 1573 et en prit possession la même année. Il devait mourir au Yucatán quelques années plus tard, en 1579.

Le livre
Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait penser en regard de la carrière de Landa, la Relation des choses du Yucatán est un ouvrage quasi scientifique, objectif, dépourvu de prosélytisme, dans lequel sont exposés les croyances, les cérémonies, les systèmes d'écriture et de numération des Mayas ainsi que leur calendrier. La Relation des choses du Yucatán, ouvrage fondamental pour la connaissance des Mayas, constitue la première étude ethnologique menée en occident, avant même l' de Bernardino de Sahagún qui ne fut achevée qu'en 1575, même si ce dernier avait commencé à mener ses enquêtes auprès d'Indiens du Mexique en 1555. Alors que Sahagún avait employé une véritable méthode scientifique basée sur des enquêtes de terrain dont les résultats étaient systématiquement recoupés, l'approche de Landa, quelque peu différente, repose essentiellement sur les connaissances d'un grand seigneur maya, don Juan Cocom, qui était devenu l'ami de Landa qui  le qualifie d'« homme de grande réputation, très savant pour ce qui regarde les choses de son peuple. »

Chapitres
Le contenu de la Relation des choses du Yucatán se subdivise en diverses parties traitant de sujets différents :
 Chapitres 1 et 2 : géographie du Yucatán
 Chapitres 3 et : histoire de la découverte du Yucatán
 Chapitres 5 à 10 : histoire du Yucatán au cours des cent années qui ont précédé l'arrivée des Espagnols
 Chapitres 11 à 16 : histoire de la conquête du Yucatán par les Espagnols.
 Chapitres 17 à 19 : arrivée des frères franciscains, mauvaise conversion des Indiens, inquisition, arrivée de l'évêque Toral, départ de Landa pour l'Espagne
 Chapitres 20 à 33 : description des coutumes et mœurs des Indiens yucatèques
 Chapitres 34 à 41 : le calendrier yucatèque, cérémonies pratiquées à la fin de l'année pendant les jours néfastes
 Chapitre 42 : les monuments indiens d'Izamal et de Chichén Itza
 Chapitre 43 : profession de foi de Landa empreinte de mysticisme
 Chapitres 54 à 51 : les animaux et les plantes du Yucatán
 Chapitre 52 : conclusion exposant les bienfaits de la colonisation espagnole.
Sont notamment présentés :
 aux chapitres 34 et 40 les signes (glyphes) des jours et des mois des calendriers mayas.
 au chapitre 41 :
 « la Roue des katuns » ou « le siècle des mayas », période de 13 fois de  jours
 l'« alphabet » de Landa, précédé de quelques exemples d'écriture syllabique maya, dont « ma in ka ti ».

Manuscrit
Rédigé pendant son séjour contraint en Espagne, le manuscrit original de Landa était beaucoup plus volumineux que celui que nous connaissons. Le manuscrit que nous possédons n'est qu'un condensé du manuscrit original, des morceaux choisis en quelque sorte, dont on ne sait si le choix fut celui de Landa et s'il fut écrit de sa main. Il se présente sous la forme d'un document rédigé d'une traite, sans aucune subdivision, mais à certaines indications et références à des numéros de chapitres inexistants, on peut assurer que l'original était subdivisé en chapitres et paragraphes – ce qui tendrait à montrer que l'abrégé fut rédigé plutôt hâtivement.

Le manuscrit a été découvert par l'abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg en 1862 à la bibliothèque de l'Académie Royale d'Histoire à Madrid, où il est toujours conservé.

Publications
 La première publication de la  fut celle de Brasseur de Bourbourg qui établit le texte espagnol avec la traduction française en regard, éditée à Paris en 1864. Il subdivisa le texte du manuscrit en chapitres numérotés et sous titrés, mais s'arrêta à son chapitre 42 (les monuments indiens), négligeant la suite, la jugeant sans doute de moindre intérêt.
 En 1884, vingt ans plus tard, Juan de Dios de la Rada y Delgado, partant du manuscrit original, établit une autre version espagnole du texte de Landa. C'est une version intégrale, non divisée en chapitres, qui fut publiée à Madrid en Appendice à la traduction espagnole de l'Essai sur le déchiffrement de l'écriture hiératique de l'Amérique centrale de Léon de Rosny paru à Paris en 1876, étude largement basée sur les indications données par Landa.
 En 1928 et 1929, Jean Genet a publié en deux volumes sa propre traduction de Landa dont il donne le texte espagnol en regard. Ses notes, assez nombreuses, pour la plupart basées sur des sources livresques, sont encore valables aujourd'hui. Le troisième tome qui aurait permis une version française intégrale ne fut jamais publié, Genet étant mort auparavant.
 En 1937, William Gates publie à Baltimore (États-Unis) une traduction du texte de Landa intitulée  by friar Diego de Landa.
 En 1941, Alfred Tozzer publie une seconde traduction anglaise intitulée , Cambridge, Massachusetts, États-Unis. Les notes, très nombreuses et très fournies, couvrant parfois des pages entières, sont toujours valables. C'est l'ouvrage de référence, incontournable pour qui s'intéresse à Diego de Landa.
 En 1997, édition au Mexique, sous le titre de  (), du texte de la  avec les reproductions exactes des dessins et des cartes (non reproduites par Brasseur de Bourbourg, Juan de Dios de la Rada, Genet ou Tozzer) figurant au manuscrit.
 En 2014, publication à Paris par Les Belles Lettres de la première traduction française intégrale du texte de Diego de Landa : Relation des choses du Yucatán suivie de la traduction du Livre IV, chapitres 1 à 9, de l' de Francisco López de Cogolludo, où cet historien traite des mêmes sujets que Landa. Introduction, traduction et notes de François Baldy d'après l'édition Alducin avec les dessins et cartes originales de Landa. Des Appendices font le point des connaissances actuelles sur les Mayas, permettant d'expliciter les erreurs ou incompréhensions de Landa. Sont également exposées en notes les différences d'interprétation de lecture du manuscrit repérables à la lecture comparée des diverses versions espagnoles.

Unspoilt wetlands are still frequently found in the arms of the Old Rhine and, needless to say, are under special protection. The wetland landscapes are home to a wide variety of animal species. For instance, there are types of birds found in this relatively confined space that are only found in other landscapes – if at all – widely dispersed over large areas. Many different species of butterfly, beetle and dragonfly are found in the wetland landscapes, which are also a sanctuary for rare types of fish that can survive in water that is low in oxygen or even dried up temporarily.
The riparian forests, which are alternately flooded and dry in season, give rise to unique ecosystems.
Riparian forests also have an important function in times of flooding, serving as natural flood control areas that help the water to drain slowly as well as cleansing it of organic and mineral materials.
Plants that grow directly beside the water include purple willow, rosemary willow, white willow, grey alder, black poplar, aspen and reed canary grass.
Higher up in the alluvial forest, you will find common oak, ash, field elm, European white elm and field maple as well as shrubs such as hawthorn, sloe, dogwood and spindle.
The Hördt wetlands nature reserve is the second-largest in the Palatinate and one of the oldest in the entire federal state of Rhineland Palatinate.
As part of the nature reserve, the "Leimersheim Old Rhine" runs parallel to the main Rhine embankment, surrounding the "Karlskopf".
The nature reserve is an impressive example of the kind of natural and artificial wetlands that are now rarely found on the Upper Rhine. It is home to many rare types of animals and plants that are threatened by extinction, such as the old world swallowtail (Papilio machaon), the European tree frog (Hyla arborea), the white waterlily (Nymphaea alba), the Siberian iris (Iris sibirica) and many different types of orchids, such as the red helleborine (Cephalantera rubra). Cormorants and grey herons also nest here.
Please adhere to the Rules of conduct for visitors to nature reserves.


Catering services are made up of 2 main areas, patient catering and retail catering.
Patient catering is delivered using the Cook Chill method. This involves the majority of food being produced in a Central Production Unit at Solihull Hospital 4 days in advance of the menu day in question. The patient menu is based on a 2 week menu cycle and is based on 'choice at point of service' model, i.e. patients do not need to pre-order in advance. Once food is produced it is portioned into multi packs, delivered to each receiving unit at each of the 3 hospitals (Solihull, Good Hope, Heartlands). Food is picked and packed at the receiving units on each site and is delivered via insulated boxes to each ward where it is re-heated in a regeneration oven (this is a fan assisted oven unit which also doubles as a serving unit).
Once re-heated, food is served by a Hostess at ward level onto plates and then taken to the patient by Nursing/Healthcare staff.
The Catering Department also operates a number of retails outlets at Good Hope, Solihull Hospitals and Heartlands in the form of two restaurants & 2 coffee shops and one restaurant and one coffee shop respectively. Retails outlets at Heartlands Hospital are operated by commercial providers and The Refectory is an in house staff restaurant.
The Catering Department run 'Come Dine With Me' sessions every quarter at each hospital to allow visitors to sample the foods served at ward level. This gives visitors an opportunity to see the range and quality of the food served to patients and feedback is generally very positive. Comments are fed back to the Chefs to improve recipes.


Not only did Lady Gaga deliver what many are considering the greatest Super Bowl halftime show of all time, the pop superstar also made good on her word to follow up her performance with a tour announcement.
Kicking off on August 1 in Vancouver, BC, Gaga's Joanne World Tour will take Mother Monster on a 48-date tour through December, including four Canadian dates (click here for the full listing of tour stops and on-sale dates).

Bollinger Reveals More of Production-Intent Electric Pickup and SUV
ev startup bollinger unveiled production-intent images of its electric pickup and suv.
the largest design changes are the movement of the b-pillar, the switch from two radiators to a single radiator behind the bumper, and more headroom.
the b1 and b2 are slated to start production in late 2021.
years before the cybertruck and hummer ev appeared, bollinger was showing off its own vision of electric pickup truck and suv models. since then, the automotive startup's b1 suv and b2 truck have been making the rounds at auto shows clad in black and generally looking like lego versions of the electrified future.
today bollinger revealed renderings of the production-intent versions of the two evs. the changes between these and the earlier prototypes are typical for show cars transitioning to production models. and of course, the vehicles in the renderings are white instead of the intimidating black we've come to expect from the company.
when asked about the design changes, ceo robert bollinger told c/d, "the largest difference is that the entire body has been re-engineered for production. it's all truly body-on-frame now and optimized for manufacturing."
the most noticeable changes are to the front fascia and headlights. on the initial prototype, the headlight area also served as an air intake for the dual radiators. bollinger says due to improved thermal management, it has now placed a single radiator behind the bumper. the result is that the headlights look slightly smaller and less intimidating.
on the side, the b-pillar has been moved forward to make it easier for passengers to enter the vehicles. the vehicles are now two inches taller, resulting in more headroom, and the sliding glass windows have been replaced with regular windows operated with a manual crank. on the b2 truck, the bed is now independent of the cab, which bollinger says will make commercial chassis cab applications, repairs, and replacement easier. oh, and the three wipers on the windshield have been replaced with the less awesome but more traditional two-wiper setup.
bollinger may have made some changes to the design of the vehicles, but the claimed specs remain the same. both vehicles are targeting 200 miles of range and a powertrain capable of delivering 614 hp and 668 foot-pounds of torque. the starting price for the b1 and b2 is $125,000 and both are said to go into production near the end of 2021.

The cycle of organic carbon burial and exhumation moderates atmospheric chemistry and global climate over geologic timescales. The burial of organic carbon occurs predominantly at sea in association with clay-sized particles derived from the erosion of uplifted continental rocks. It follows that the history of the fine-grained particles on land may bear on the nature of the organic carbon buried. In this study, the evolution of clay-associated organic matter was followed from bedrock source to the seabed in the Eel River sedimentary system of northern California using natural abundance C-13 and C-14 tracers. Approximately half of the fine-grained organic carbon delivered to the shelf is derived from ancient sedimentary organic carbon found in the uplifted Mesozoic-Tertiary Franciscan Complex of the watershed. The short residence time of friable soils on steep hill slopes, coupled with rapid sediment accumulation rates on the shelf-slope, act to preserve the ancient organic carbon. A comparable quantity of modem organic carbon is added to particles in the watershed and on the shelf and slope. The bimodal mixture of ancient and modem C in soils and sediments may be characteristic of many short, mountainous rivers. If the Eel River chemistry is typical of such rivers, more than 40 Tg of ancient organic C may be delivered to the world's oceans each year. A flux of that magnitude would have a significant influence on marine and global C-cycles. Copyright (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.


In a move reminiscent of how the PDP hired Cambridge Analytica in 2015 to scare voters from voting for President Muhammadu Buhari, we understand the PDP is at it again a few days to the actual voting day. This time, sources within the heart of the operations of the PDP and security sources have informed us of plans already concluded by the PDP and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's campaign team to roll out a series of fake news designed again to scare voters from voting for President Muhammadu Buhari. These fake news would consist of doctored videos and audio clips and fake news reports from fake news sites.
Two of such fake news in the series have already been released through their proxies and nameless individuals. The first is an audio clip of a supposed "nurse" of President Muhammadu Buhari telling voters that the President is sick and cannot govern for another four years. We understand that a Nigerian girl whose real name is Sandra and who used a fake British accent did the said recording somewhere in Maitama in a house belonging to a PDP chieftain. Security operatives are already on her trail.
The second fake news released is on the purported death of Leah Sharibu. This is a lie from the pit of hell as the Federal Government's effort to set her free has reached an advanced stage.
The other fake news lined up for the next few days by the PDP and Atiku's handlers would consist of similar doctored audios, videos and fake news with no link to credible news sites.
We wish to advise the leadership of the PDP that in order to reduce this type of panic and desperation on their part in 2023 (that is, if they survive as a party), they must find something meaningful to do outside government patronage after they lose the 2019 election. This type of attitude is borne out of hanging around, idle and waiting endlessly for election cycles to try to get back to power to plunder our national resources. The bad news for them is that from feelers we are having on the ground, Nigerians are not yet prepared to forgive them for their 16 years of misrule, mismanagement and outright stealing of our national resources.

Jubilee is facing cracks because it wasn't formed based on ideology or principle. This party was formed with one aim…stopping a Raila presidency. That's not an ideology. Now that it succeeded in achieving its objective it has lost it's usefulness. Most of those who were in the frontline in forming the party sold it and their political and financial goals based on uttering Railas name everywhere. From baseless propaganda to fear mongering.

The United States of Ibica (USI), commonly referred to as Ibica, is a federal republic consisting of 11 states and 4 Territories. The 11 Contiguous states occupy the Eastern 2/3rds of the Continent of Ibica. The territory of Haviland is a group of Islands in the Bay of Albion, and the territories of James Island and Edward Island are in the Bosphorus Ocean.
Local tribes making up the area of Modern Day West Monroe and East Monroe were unified into the Monroe Empire in 1231, under the rule of the Carter Dynasty. The eastern area of Monroe revolted under the heavy hand of King Mason the third and sparked the Monroe Civil War in 1430. The Kingdom of Angola helped to negotiate peace in 1435, insuring East Monroe had a strip of land connecting it to the Bosphurus Ocean, more to ease their own concerns about the aggressive Carter Dynasty. East Monroe entered into a loose confederation with West Monroe and Angola after the ousting of the Carter Dynasty in 1549. The Ibican Confederation entered into a Federation with the Kingdom of Albion in 1700, creating one of the world's first republics under the same constitution used to this day.
Ibica embarked on a vigorous expansion across Eastern Ibican Continent throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, displacing Native tribes, acquiring new territories, and gradually admitting new states until it encompassed the majority of the continent. Ibica is a developed country and has one of the world's largest economy by nominal and real GDP, benefiting from an abundance of natural resources and high worker productivity. While the USI economy is considered post-industrial, the country continues to be one of the world's largest manufacturers. It is an economic and military power, a prominent political and cultural force, and a leader in scientific research and technological innovations.

2.3 Government Finance
2.4 Law and criminal justice
4 Infrastructure
4.3 Water supply and sanitation
The land area of Ibica is 930,306 square miles (2.4 Mm2). The coastal plain of the Bosphurus seaboard gives way further inland to deciduous forests and the rolling hills of the Estacado. The Madison Mountains divide the Southern seaboard from the grasslands of the North. The Madison River, the nation's longest river, runs mainly north–south through the heart of the country. The flat, fertile prairie of the Central Plains stretches to the West. The Georgia Range, at the Eastern edge of the nation, extend north to south across the country, reaching altitudes higher than 14,000 feet (4.3 km). Ibica, with its large size and geographic variety, includes most climate types. In the east, the climate ranges from humid continental in the north to humid subtropical in the south. The southern tip of Angola is tropical. The Central Plains are semi-arid. Much of the Western mountains have an alpine climate. Extreme weather is not uncommon—the states bordering the Bosphurus are prone to hurricanes.
Ibica has operated under a two-party system for most of its history. For elective offices at most levels, state-administered primary elections choose the major party nominees for subsequent general elections. Since the general election of 1924, the major parties have been the Conservative Party, and the Progressive Party. The third-largest political party is the Sovereignty Party, which advocates for the statehood of Territories. The President and Vice-president are elected through direct election. The winner of the 2016 presidential election, Conservative Evaline Buckley, is the 46th, and current, Ibican president. Todd Hunter will take office as the 47th President in January 2021
In the Current Congress, both the House of Representatives and the Senate are controlled by the Conservative Party. The Senate currently consists of 15 Conservatives, and 5 Progressives with two independents who caucus with the Progressives; the House consists of 111 Conservatives and 49 Conservatives, with three Sovereigns. In state governorships, there are 7 Conservatives and 3 Progressives. All territorial governorships are held by the Sovereignty Party.
Ibica is one of the world's oldest federations. It is a constitutional republic and representative democracy, in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law. The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances defined by the Constitution, which serves as the country's supreme legal document.
In the Ibican federalist system, citizens are usually subject to three levels of government: federal, state, and local. The local government's duties are commonly split between county and municipal governments. In almost all cases, executive and legislative officials are elected by a plurality vote of citizens by district. There is no proportional representation at the federal level, and it is rare at lower levels.
The federal government is composed of three branches:
Legislative: The bicameral Congress, made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives, makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the government.
Executive: The President is the commander-in-chief of the military, can veto legislative bills before they become law (subject to Congressional override), and appoints the members of the Cabinet (subject to Senate approval) and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
Judicial: The Supreme Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the President with Senate approval, interpret laws and overturn those they find unconstitutional. The House of Representatives has 128 voting members, each representing a congressional district for a two-year term. House seats are apportioned among the states by population every tenth year, with 1 Representative from each territory, Except James Island.
The Senate has 20 members with each state having two senators, elected at-large to six-year terms; one third of Senate seats are up for election every other year. The President serves a four-year term and may be elected to the office no more than twice. The President is elected by direct vote. The Supreme Court, led by the Chief Justice has seven members, who serve for life.
The state governments are structured in roughly similar fashion. The governor (chief executive) of each state is directly elected. Some state judges and cabinet officers are appointed by the governors of the respective states, while others are elected by popular vote.
The original text of the Constitution establishes the structure and responsibilities of the federal government and its relationship with the individual states. Article One protects the right to the "great writ" of habeas corpus.
Main article: Foreign relations of Ibica
Most countries have embassies in Willmington, and many have consulates around the country. Likewise, nearly all nations host Ibican diplomatic missions.
Taxes are levied in Ibica at the federal, state and local government level. These include taxes on income, payroll, property, sales, imports, estates and gifts, as well as various fees. In 2010 taxes collected by federal, state and municipal governments amounted to 24.8% of GDP.
Ibican taxation is generally progressive, especially the federal income taxes, and is among the most progressive in the developed world. Payroll taxes for Social Security are a flat regressive tax, with no tax charged on income above $113,700 and no tax at all paid on unearned income from things such as stocks and capital gains. The historic reasoning for the regressive nature of the payroll tax is that entitlement programs have not been viewed as welfare transfers. The top 10% paid 51.8% of total federal taxes in 2009, and the top 1%, with 13.4% of pre-tax national income, paid 22.3% of federal taxes In 2013 the Tax Policy Center projected total federal effective tax rates of 35.5% for the top 1%, 27.2% for the top quintile, 13.8% for the middle quintile, and −2.7% for the bottom quintile. The incidence of corporate income tax has been a matter of considerable ongoing controversy for decades. State and local taxes vary widely, but are generally less progressive than federal taxes as they rely heavily on broadly borne regressive sales and property taxes that yield less volatile revenue streams, though their consideration does not eliminate the progressive nature of overall taxation.
Law and criminal justice
Law enforcement in Ibica is primarily the responsibility of local police and sheriff's departments, with state police providing broader services. Federal agencies such as the Ibican Investigations Agency (IIA) and the Ibican Marshal Service (IMS) have specialized duties, including protecting civil rights, national security and enforcing federal courts' rulings and federal laws. At the federal level and in every state, a legal system operates on common law. State courts conduct most criminal trials; federal courts handle certain designated crimes as well as certain appeals from the state criminal courts. Plea bargaining is very common; the vast majority of criminal cases in the country are settled by plea bargain rather than jury trial. In 2012 there were 3.7 murders per 100,000 persons in Ibica. Among developed nations, Ibica has average levels of violent crime. Gun ownership rights continue to be the subject of contentious political debate. The IIA's Uniform Crime Reports estimates that there were 2,246 violent and property crimes per 100,000 residents in 2012, for a total of over 6 million total crimes.
Capital punishment is sanctioned in Ibica for certain federal and military crimes, and used in 7 states. Meanwhile, several states have either abolished or struck down death penalty laws.
Main articles: Ibican Armed Forces and List of Ibican Military Bases
The President holds the title of commander-in-chief of the nation's armed forces and appoints its leaders, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Ibican Department of Defense administers the armed forces, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and the Coast Guard. Military service is voluntary. Ibican forces can be rapidly deployed by the Air Force's large fleet of transport aircraft, the Navy's 5 active aircraft carriers, and Marine expeditionary units at sea with the Navy's Bosphurus and Carpathian fleets.
Main article: Economy of Ibica
The nominal GDP of Ibica is estimated to be $6.2 trillion. From 1983 to 2008, Ibica real compounded annual GDP growth was 3.3%. The Ibican dollar is one of the world's primary reserve currencies.
Chemical products are the leading manufacturing field. Ibica is the largest producer of oil in the world, as well as its second-largest importer. It is the world's number one producer of nuclear energy, as well as liquid natural gas, sulfur, phosphates, and salt. The National Mining Association provides data pertaining to coal and minerals that include beryllium, copper, lead, magnesium, zinc, titanium and others.
Agriculture accounts for just under 1% of GDP, yet Ibica is the world's top producer of corn and soybeans. The National Agricultural Statistics Service maintains agricultural statistics for products that include peanuts, oats, rye, wheat, rice, cotton, corn, barley, hay, sunflowers, and oilseeds. In addition, the Ibican Department of Agriculture (IDA) provides livestock statistics regarding beef, poultry, pork, and dairy products. The country is the primary developer and grower of genetically modified food, representing half of the world's biotech crops. In the contiguous states, 35% of the land is used as pasture, 28% is covered by forest, and 21% is agricultural cropland, with all other uses accounting for less than 20%.

Consumer spending comprises 68% of the Ibican economy in 2015. In August 2010, the Ibican labor force consisted of 65.1 million people. With 9.2 million people, government is the leading field of employment. The largest private employment sector is health care and social assistance, with 16.4 million people. About 12% of workers are unionized. The World Bank ranks Ibica first in the ease of hiring and firing workers. Ibica is ranked among the top three in the Global Competitiveness Report as well.
Ibica has been a leader in technological innovation since the late 19th century and scientific research since the mid-20th century. Methods for producing interchangeable parts were developed by the Department of Defense by the Federal Armories during the first half of the 19th century. This technology, along with the establishment of a machine tool industry, enabled the Ibica to have large-scale manufacturing of sewing machines, bicycles, and other items in the late 19th century and became known as the Ibican system of manufacturing. Factory electrification in the early 20th century and introduction of the assembly line and other labor-saving techniques created the system called mass production.
In the 21st century, approximately two-thirds of research and development funding comes from the private sector. Ibica leads the world in scientific research papers and impact factor.
Main article: Transportation in Ibica
Personal transportation is dominated by automobiles, which operate on a network of 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) of public roads, including one of the world's longest highway systems. One of the world's largest automobile market, Ibica has the highest rate of per-capita vehicle ownership in the world, with 765 vehicles per 1,000 Americans (2017). About 40% of personal vehicles are vans, SUVs, or light trucks. The average Ibican adult (accounting for all drivers and non-drivers) spends 55 minutes driving every day, traveling 29 miles (47 km). In 2017, there were 175,009,283 motor vehicles—including cars, vans, buses, freight, and other trucks, but excluding motorcycles and other two-wheelers—or 910 vehicles per 1,000 people.
Mass transit accounts for 9% of total Ibican work trips. Transport of goods by rail is extensive, though relatively low, but growing numbers of passengers (approximately 31 million annually) use intercity rail to travel, partly because of the low population density throughout much of the Ibican interior. However, ridership on RailIbica, the national passenger rail franchising system, grew by almost 37% between 2000 and 2010. Also, light rail development has increased in recent years. Bicycle usage for work commutes is minimal.
The civil airline industry is entirely privately owned and has been largely deregulated since 1960, while most major airports are publicly owned.
The Ibican energy market is about 17,000 terawatt hours per year. Energy consumption per capita is 7.8 tons (7076 kg) of oil equivalent per year. In 2005, 40% of this energy came from petroleum, 23% from coal, and 22% from natural gas. The remainder was supplied by nuclear power and renewable energy sources. Ibica is the world's largest consumer of petroleum. It is the world's largest producer of natural gas and crude oil.
For decades, nuclear power has played a limited role relative to many other developed countries.
Issues that affect water supply in Ibica include droughts in the West, water scarcity, pollution, a backlog of investment, concerns about the affordability of water for the poorest, and a rapidly retiring workforce. Increased variability and intensity of rainfall as a result of climate change is expected to produce both more severe droughts and flooding, with potentially serious consequences for water supply and for pollution from combined sewer overflows. As for drinking water quality, there are concerns about disinfection by-products, lead, perchlorates and pharmaceutical substances, but generally drinking water quality in Ibica is good.
Ibican public education is operated by state and local governments, regulated by the Ibican Department of Education through restrictions on federal grants. In most states, children are required to attend school from the age of six or seven (generally, kindergarten or first grade) until they turn 18 (generally bringing them through twelfth grade, the end of high school); some states allow students to leave school at 16 or 17. About 12% of children are enrolled in parochial or nonsectarian private schools. Just over 2% of children are homeschooled. Some 80% of Ibican college students attend public universities. Ibica has many competitive private and public institutions of higher education. There are also local community colleges with generally more open admission policies, shorter academic programs, and lower tuition. Of Ibicans 25 and older, 84.6% graduated from high school, 52.6% attended some college, 27.2% earned a bachelor's degree, and 9.6% earned graduate degrees. The basic literacy rate is approximately 99%. The World Assembly assigns Ibica an Education Index of 0.97.
Ibica has a life expectancy of 81.8 years at birth. The infant mortality rate is 6.17 per thousand in Ibica. In 2010, coronary artery disease, lung cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and traffic accidents caused the most years of life lost in Ibica. Low back pain, depression, musculoskeletal disorders, neck pain, and anxiety caused the most years lost to disability. The most deleterious risk factors were poor diet, tobacco smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, physical inactivity, and alcohol use. Alzheimer's disease, drug abuse, kidney disease and cancer, and falls caused the most additional years of life lost over their age-adjusted per-capita rates. Ibican underage drinking among teenagers is among the highest in industrialized nations. Rape is at a record high, with 107.3 rapes committed per 100,000 persons.
Ibica is a global leader in medical innovation. Ibica solely developed or contributed significantly to 9 of the top 10 most important medical innovations since 2010 as ranked by a 2011 poll of physicians. Health-care coverage in Ibica is a Variation of a multi-payer system. All citizens and Legal Residents may enroll in either the public state or territory run public health care option, subsidized by the federal government, or a private provider, or may choose to be uninsured and pay out of pocket

Barcelona: La Liga
What would be considered a good season for FC Barcelona?
The Catalans are in fifth place
By Luis Mazariegos@luism8989 Dec 17, 2020, 11:03pm CET
Share All sharing options for: What would be considered a good season for FC Barcelona?
With an important 2-1 win over league-leading Real Sociedad, Barcelona moved to fifth in La Liga. With 12 matches played, the Catalans have played fewer games than three of the top four, although one more than Atlético Madrid, who are tied for first place with La Real.
This is to say that top four is definitely an achievable goal, but is that enough to qualify for a good season?
A lot of youngsters took part in that win: Pedri, Sergiño Dest, Ronald Araújo, Óscar Mingueza, Francisco Trincão, and Carles Aleñá all played, so it's a good season for developing players. It'd be even better if Riqui Puig was playing, or if Ansu Fati wasn't injured.
Of course winning trophies is the most important thing, but if you can't win trophies, then a transition season trying to replace some iconic veterans, while maintaining status in the UEFA Champions League, is about the best you can hope for.
The trouble is Barcelona forced Lionel Messi to stay. Messi wants to win trophies before he retires, and Barcelona are paying him a monster salary that suggests they want to win now, not rebuild slowly. It's a contradiction.
Of course, it could be argued that, without Messi, Barcelona would suffer too much and not even qualify for the Champions League. Considering they're fifth, it's plausible. But it's harder to think that top four and developing players would qualify as a successful season for Barcelona with Messi. Certainly, Messi wouldn't accept that.
